Wind-power generation unit - has bladed rotor in fixed housing with flow passages angled at blades to produce output at any wind direction

摘要

The wind-driven power generation unit comprises a bladed rotor on a vertical shaft driving a generator. The rotor is contained within a (e.g. concrete) housing structure having angled passages directed at the rotor blades. The arrangement is such that the rotor is driven irrespective of the wind direction. A number of such units may be stacked with the rotor shafts intercoupled to increase power output.
